Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.2%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, following the pullback on Wall Street overnight, the STI is likely to extend its 1.2% slide from yesterday, as more investors adopt a risk-off stance.

Here's more from OCBC:

As before, the technical indicators have turned near-term negative, with the daily MACD still sliding towards the centre line after the recent cut down and the RSI just falling past the 50% mark.

Hence, with the break of the initial 2850 support, the index could well be making a test of the key 2800 level soon; while 2900 remains the key hurdle for now.

Overall volume slipped 21% to 1.39b units traded, while total value dropped 24% to S$1.07b; but average value/unit was down just 4% at S$0.76.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
